I agree with Npaden, buy some land and hang on to it as an investment. I bought a chunk of ground 37 years ago and my only issue now is how to limit my capital gains when I decide to sell. An old farmer told me way back then to buy land, they don’t make it any more. lol

1 - if you're on the fence with a truck cap, try a softopper. i love mine, it goes on and off in seconds.
2 - pistol (i like sig but whatever feels good)
3 - modify one of your existing rifles into a long range shooter
4 - buy a lever guy - its like a pistol but more fun.
just do all four

I have a few guns (or do I ATF?) but in the end I use one rifle and one shotgun. I look at upgrading each one annually but haven’t found anything that will do the job better than what I have now. Both are worn and scratched but kill animals for me consistently.
A beautiful upgraded shotgun would be nice but I know I’m going to rub it against rocks chukar hunting. I’m too frugal to have a skeets only shotgun.

that's where I'm at too most of the time. I abuse my two guns. it would pain me to get a pretty 16 double then have to use it to self arrest.

no idea anymore, it's odd, getting old has presented some unexpected surprises.
Ok, but in doing so I'm going to spend 100x more money, when I could reinvest that, have a larger return (potentially) and not have to struggle with the concept of selling something that you've become attached to.

THIS! Land is only an investment if you don't fall in love with it. If you fall in love with It and can't/won't ever sell it then it isn't really an investment.

Also, someone mentioned a softtopper, I have one and love it! Can take it off completely in 2 minutes and have full access to bed. That and a decked drawer system will change your life, ha ha.
Yeah the math with real estate investments, specifically recreational land, rarely works out to be a good investment vs S&P.
Doesn’t mean it is a bad decision, but from a pure dollars view it usually doesn’t make sense.

They don’t make more land. It’s a good way to not loose money.

This thread is starting to turn into picking a restaurant with my wife...
What do you want? I don't know, you pick. How about pizza? Nah. How about burgers? Nah. Sushi? Nah. Well what do you want? I don't care, you decide. Italian? Nuh-uh.

I get the internal debate. There are positives and negatives to having one. i decided against is in the new truck, but on trips I wish I had one. I saw one of these softoppers and it didn't look half bad. The only issue is probably security.

That's my issue with them. If someone wanted something in it, seems like it would be pretty easy to get it. Half the reason I have a topper is the peace of mind of being able to lock it up.
Don’t disagree with either point.

I've done so much parking lot advertisement and sales with mine that I think they owe me a commission at this point. 10 years old, still great
EDIT: and re:security, if it isn't nailed down, you just don't leave it in the car in New Mexico

Judging from this statement I would highly suggest you spend the money on a therapist. Or save the therapist money and buy a #1

This has not been my observation lol
Another vote for a fiberglass topper. I thought I would need to take mine on and off. Haven't had it off in 4 years. I have a utility trailer that handles anything i cannot get in the topper. I would never be without a fiberglass topper. If you do need to take it off, you need a buddy and 5 minutes of time. Not a big deal. Unless the buddy arrives with refreshments. Then you need more time.
Shot in the dark here, but is there a lot near you that could provide both an investment and a place to store stuff? Build a shed? We bought the lot next door to us and sure glad we did.
